 DESCRIPTION

This silver maple will draw your attention to the deeply cut leaves which resemble Japanese dissectum maples. The name silver describes the underneath of the leaves which are silvery gray and glitter in the wind.

In too fertile soil the branches can grow as much as 1 meter within one year and can get broken in constant winds, so we suggest finding it a sheltered spot. The crown is airy, not too dense allowing other plants live under its bright canopy. Lower branches get party pendent. Leaves turn bright golden yellow in the autumn. Any soil. Fully hardy to -34°C (USDA zone 4).
